Hailakandi: A five-day Zila Udyam Samagam was formally inaugurated at the S.S. College Campus in Hailakandi on Monday with an objective of promoting self-employment, entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment at the grassroots level.
The event was inaugurated by District Commissioner Abhishek Jain, IAS, in the presence of officials from the Industries and Commerce Department and other line departments.

The stalls feature a wide range of locally produced items, reflecting the entrepreneurial potential of the district.
Alongside the exhibition, an awareness camp is also being organised to educate participants and visitors about various Central and State Government schemes, financial assistance programmes, and support systems available for entrepreneurs and small businesses.

The Zila Udyam Samagam will continue till December 19, and is expected to witness participation from a large number of entrepreneurs, officials, and members of the public.
